Masih bolehkah kita menelepon ayah kalau oven tak mau menyala? Begitulah bait pertama childhood sheets dibuka, single baru Siena Fantini yang juga bertanya apakah anjingnya masih cukup kuat menubruknya sampai jatuh.
Siena Fantini baru tujuh belas tahun. Di lagu ini surat dari kampus mulai berdatangan, dan paket di meja dapur terasa seberat isi kepalanya.
Bunyinya praktis sederhana. Gitar akustik memegang kendali sejak awal dengan vokal yang dekat seperti berbisik, lalu ketukan ringan dan lapisan vokal latar masuk di chorus pertama memberi sedikit bobot, sebelum kembali ke petikan hangat menjelang akhir. Manis, tapi tak bikin gigi ngilu.
Bagian paling cerdik datang saat poster-poster bintang pop di dinding kamar ikut ditanyai, apakah mencopotnya berarti tumbuh dewasa. “I’m scared they’ll tear the more I pull them / Is it metaphor?”, nyanyinya. Duh, iya, dek, itu metafora.
Alih-alih menjawab, lagu ini membiarkan semuanya menggantung. Ada ketakutan-ketakutan yang remeh di atas kertas, soal oven, anjing, dan poster, padahal kita tahu yang remeh itulah yang paling susah ditinggalkan. Kalimat “what comes after?” diulang empat kali di childhood sheets, dan ia tak sekali pun menjawabnya.
Yang datang sesudahnya, kiranya, kamar kos, rice cooker pinjaman, dan telepon ke ibu karena kompornya tak mau menyala.
Lirik Lagu Siena Fantini – childhood sheets
“childhood sheets” LYRICS: I don’t know when I’ll move out my house can I still call my mom if the oven won’t turn on? Whose arms will be warm? Who’ll be there to calm the storm? Who’s there who will tuck me in at night Will my dog still be waiting at the door? Will he still be strong enough to knock me to the floor? Do I have to count the days Do I sound a bit insane? But who’s bed will I crawl into when I cry Dad, come pick me up I’m scared I’m shaking my hand and I’m biting my hair can’t see two feet in front of me, I know I'm gonna fall. But can I fall into my childhood sheets? College mail started coming in today. The package on the counter is as heavy as my brain Disregard my disposition, But it feels like the kitchens shrinking Trapped inside here, banging on the walls Dad, come pick me up I’m scared I’m shaking my hand and I’m biting my hair can’t see two feet in front of me, I know I'm gonna fall. But can I fall into my childhood sheets? Cup of coffee In the shower Make the playlist A little louder Time to drown out Crying hour Junior years’ turned A little sour Nothings promised Nothing's stagnant Ever changing What comes after? What comes after? What comes after Oh, what comes after? What about all the popstars on my walls? Do I take them down? Is this called growing up? Do they know that I’m getting older? I’m scared they’ll tear the more I pull them Is it metaphor? Don't think I'll ever know. My childhood sheets (don’t think I’ll ever know) my childhood sheets (What if I can't go home?) To my childhood sheets. To my childhood sheets.
